Comparative evaluation of macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins in staphylococcal infections.

Abstract

A number of factors must be taken into consideration when comparing the relative efficacy of macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramins (MLS) in staphylococcal infections: these include their antibacterial activity, their pharmacokinetic characteristics, their tolerance, and the results achieved in clinical practice.
